Ever leave your computer screen open when you walk away? If so, you might want to change that habit.

Your unlocked computer can leave way to would be snoopers to check on your computer or even scroll around to see any personal or proprietary information on your computer. That could also lead way to someone stealing any personal information or even the “snooper” acting as the computer user to perform financial transactions. They could also create or respond to messages with the receiver thinking it’s the real person. Misuse by a “snooper” could put the computer user in a bad spot personally and professionally.

I teamed up with a colleague to create this video for work. It’s good to get a creative outlet every so often while educating the public on ways to stay safe in the digital world. This video contains captions, by the way.

Have ideas for the next video? Please leave them in the comments.
